What other features would you like in this post-to-host type of hack?
================================================== ==

If the user does not have enough post he or she cannot request hosting
The screenshot below represents a newly registered user with zero posts.
Overview 1 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_no_plans.png)

If the user does have enough posts a link will be presented to them under the appropriate plan
The screenshot below represents an user who has enough posts for the "Basic" plan.
Overview 2 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_basic_plan.png)

The screenshot below represents a user who has enough posts for the "Expanded" plan.
Overview 3 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_expanded_plan.png)

If the user clicks the link "Request This Plan" he or she will be directed to a form
Request Form (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/request_form.png)

If the form is left blank they'll get a message telling them to fill in all fields
If the user enters anything other than letters or numbers then a message will tell them that they can only use letters or numbers.
If the username is longer than 8 characters it'll show the user that the username cannot be longer than 8 characters.

After the user has successfully submitted the form they'll see this on the overview

In a private forum a new thread is created in a forum you specified through the ACP.
New Request Thread (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/thread_new_request.png)

Within said thread is the screenshot of the post below.
The password is randomly generated and inserted into a field in the user's database. If user forgets their password you can reset their password very easily.
New Request Post (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/post_new_request.png)

If accepted the title of the thread will change aswell
Hosting Accepted (Thread) (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/thread_accepted_request.png)

A private message will be sent to the user who requested the hosting
Hosting Accepted (PM) (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/pm_accepted_request.png)

When the user goes back to the overview page they can change hosting details, such as their username or subdomain.
Overview 5 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_accepted.png)

When they click "Change account details" they'll be sent to a form
Change Details Form (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/change_details_form.png)

I have changed my subdomain to "harmor.xenweb.net" to andrewharmor.xenweb.net but I left my username the same.
Change Details (Post) (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/post_change_account.png)

If the user accumulates enough posts to match the next plan up they can upgrade to that plan
Overview 5 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_upgrade.png)

When they click the "Upgrade to this plan" a new thread will be created automatically.
